Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I´m not a lost soul
That´s the way that I go
When I was went to school
Always are said to me
Why did you have to be different?
Why are you always be so strange?
Never was wrong, but I can be that this call
That´s the way I´am, that's the way I go
I´m not a lost soul
That´s the way that I go
That´s the way I´am, that's the way I go
I´m not a lost soul
That´s the way that I go
My mama always told me
My father always told me
Why did you have to be different?
I told them that I have to be this way
Because I not this
I told them like anybody else
Because I no that you missed
That´s the way I´am, that's the way I go
I´m not a lost soul
That´s the way that I go
That´s the way I´am, that's the way I go
I´m not a lost soul
That´s the way that I go
That´s the way I´am, that's the way I go
I´m not a lost soul
That´s the way that I go
(That´s the way I´am)

(That´s the way I´am)
(thats the way I go)
(I go)
